Were to start, well I live in the most greatest town ever of Rossiter, not, it is so boring there, there is nothing to do. I don't have any brothers or sisters, it kind of sucks but sometime it's good, I have one dog named max he is a miniature schnauzer. My favorite color is bright green, i love animals, hang out with my friends, going shopping, and being outside. My favorite sport is hockey, my favorite team it the Pittsburgh Penguins. Well those are some of the things about me.
Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel is a decidous shrub, they are small tress, they grow 3 to 8 m tall, they rarely grow to 12 m. Witch Hazel's scientific name is Hamamelis Virginiana. There is another kind of Witch Hazel and its scientific name is Hamamelis Vermalis. What different about this kind of Witch Hazel is it blooms in the Spring were Hamamelis Virginiana blooms in the fall and winter. An organism that infects Witch Hazel is Phyllosticta Hamamelidis, this causes brown lesions bordered by darker brown margins,an easier way to say Phyllosticta Hamamelidis is by just saying Witch Hazel Blight. Animals that eats Witch Hazel are White-Tailed Deer, ruffled grouse, beavers, cottontail rabbits, and northern bobwhites. Witch Hazel competes with hardwoods because of its light color and moisture. There are threes species in North American, and one in Japan and in China. The leaves on the tress are alternately arranged, they have a smooth or a wavy margin. It's family is the Hamamelidaceae, in the winter it will produce small flowers on leafless stems another name for Witch Hazel is Winterbloom.
The flower is a pale, dark yellow, orange and red. Witch Hazel has fruit which is a two part capsule, in the capsule is a single glossy black seed in each parts. In the fall the capsule opens after 8 month of maturity, it ejects at such a speed that the seeds fly up to 10 m, there for another name is Snapping Hazel. The bark and the leaves from Witch Hazel are used Medicinally, it is used in aftershave lotions, lotions for treating bruises and insect bites, also it is a common treatment for postnatal tearing, and for treating acne. Witch Hazel can also treat swimmer's ears, it can also stop bleeding it is mostly use to control bleeding ulcers or bleeding gums. Also Witch Hazel seeds contains oil which is edible.
Rice
Rice is the seed from the monocot plant Oryaz sativa. It is a cereal grain; it is an important staple food for a large part of the world’s human population, especially in south and East Asia, Middle East, Latin America, and the West Indies.
Second highest worldwide production after maize. Is the most important grain. Rice is a good source of protein.
Normally grown as an annual plant, although in tropical areas it can survive as a perennial plant and can produce a ratoon crop up to 30 years. Rice can be grown anywhere. A traditional method for growing rice is to flood the fields while or after, setting the young seedlings although flooding is not mandatory. But if you don’t flood it, rice requires higher effort in weeding and pest control during the growing periods.
Before eating or shipping out the rice, it has to be milled by using a rice huller to remove the chaff. This process is called brown rice. White rice last longer but it lacks some important nutrients, but brown rice helps to prevent the disease beriberi.
Some countries parboiled rice is very popular, parboiled rice is where you steam the rice while it is still brown rice, this process causes the nutrients from the outer husk especially thiamine to move into the grain itself. The hypothetical health risks of talc, talc coated rice remains the normally in some countries due to its attractive shinny appearance, but some countries have banned it, also it is no longer widely used in the United States
Raw rice has many uses; it can be ground into flour, drinks such as amazake, horchata, rice milk and sake. Rice flour does not contain gluten, also I can be used to make many types of noodles, also, can be further fried in cooking oil, butter, or a beaten in a tub to make mochi, rice flour and rice starch are often used in batters and breading to increase the crispiness.
Rice like the other grains can be popped or puffed. The process takes advantage of the grains water content and typically involves heating grains in a special chamber. Rice is cooked by steaming or boiling, rice is often cooked in oil before boiling, or the oil is added to the water, this is to make the rice less sticky. Rice can also be made into rice porridge. By soaking rice it improves the texture and increases the expansion of the grains
Cooked rice can contain Bacillus cereus spores, which produce an emetic toxin when left at 4-60 C. (39- 140 F), when you store cooked rice for use of the next day, rapid cooling is advised to reduce the risk of toxin production.

On the second day the potato was shriveled up, it was black and brown. Also it weighed less then the day before due to the salt water.

DNA Replication Project
Step 1: a strand of DNA. stand 1 is on the left and strand 2 is on the right
Step 2: DNA starting to replicate and come a part
Step 3: DNA is replicating, both made into two new strands of DNA
Results: After replication is done. Now there is two new replicated strands of DNA.
Now Strand 1 will get a new Strand 2, while the original Strand 2 will get a new Strand 1.
Telomeres -they protect the dna and they also help keep the end of the chromosomes in the cell from coming
together and attaching.
Okazaki fragments -when the replication process begins and if the dna strand is open enough the okazaki fragment will come in and the
dna can begin to synthesize.
Dna ligase -comes in later in the process when it works the opposite way as the okazaki fragments work.
Telomerase -an enzyme which addes telomere in the repeat sequences to the end of a dna strand, this makes
the strand longer and is able to finish synthesis of the not finished ends of the other strand.
Cancer -cancer cells can spilt apart faster, and they have a high level of telomerase through there cell cycle which stops further shortening of their telomers.
Transplanted cells - they are mortal, after awhile of mitotic divisions they will die.
Cloning -when something is cloned it will have a shorter lifespan because the telomeres are shorter then normal.
